Oliver’s Questions

In case you missed it. Turns out, my main source of inspiration for these articles is a pint-sized, 9-year-old dude (my son) who thinks he's got all the answers, forcing me into a constant state of fact-checking.

Through that fact-checking chaos, we turn his “dad, did you know…” moments into bite-sized wisdom you can actually use, or at least laugh at over a beer.

The Art of Selective Ignorance

Dudes, everyone’s got that one uncle or coworker who needs to debate every single topic, from local politics to the best way to cook chili. It’s exhausting. You feel like you have to be ready with a hot take on everything.

But I think the secret to a clearer mind isn't knowing more, it's caring less about what doesn't matter.

Your mental energy isn’t a bottomless well; learn to protect it.

All the news alerts and online comment sections in the world can't top what happens when you decide to mentally check out. Selective ignorance is the art of intentionally not forming an opinion on topics that don't affect your life, your family, or your goals. It’s not about being uninformed, it’s about being wisely unburdened.

Here's the Move: Next time a debate on social media starts to heat up or a conversation at the office gets sidetracked by a pointless argument, practice a strategic retreat. Ask yourself, "Does this require my mental energy?" If the answer is no, let it go. You’ll free up your mind for things that actually matter, like your next big project or what to throw on the grill.

Why bother? Because when you stop collecting opinions on everything, you stop spinning your wheels and start gaining real traction on what's important. It's the ultimate mental clutter removal.

Time with your own thoughts isn't a luxury, it's a strategy. Who is your person (or people)?
